operating from a 38 to 55 Vdc primary bus to deliver an
isolated 12.7 V to 18.3 V secondary. The bus converter
may be used to power non-isolated POL converters or as
an independent 12.7 – 18.3 V source. Due to the fast
response time and low noise of the bus converter, the
need for limited life aluminum electrolytic or tantalum
capacitors at the load is reduced—or eliminated—
resulting in savings of board area, materials and total
system cost.

converter does not require a discrete heat sink in typical
applications. Low junction-to-case and junction-to-lead

[a] 245°C reflow capability applies to product with manufacturing date code 1001 and greater.
[b] The referenced junction is defined as the semiconductor having the highest temperature.
This temperature is monitored by a shutdown comparator.
